In case anybody else is looking to do the same thing, here is my BASH
solution:
- name: Sanitize Virtual Interface(s)
shell: |
file="/var/ftp/vm.cfg"
total=$( grep ^vif "$file" | grep -o mac | wc -l )
for i in `seq 1 $total`; do
my_random=$(xxd -l 1 -p
OK, sounds good, yes a script should do the trick. You can even write it
in Python and later contribute a nice Ansible module :) :)
Here's inspiration:

John,
What problem are you actually trying to solve ? Generating random numbers
especially around MAC certainly can get you in trouble. Are you trying to
generate a Pool and apply something 1 time from that Pool ?
Explain the use case, and we could help a lot more.
